The Thomas Jefferson Elementary School Safety Patrol consists of fifth grade students. The purpose of the school Safety Patrol is to encourage a happy and safe environment for all students. Our aim is to help keep students of our school safe, both within the school and on the school grounds.

Safety Patrol members are selected at the end of fourth grade. Their responsibilities are to be on duty at the required times, help students throughout the building and on the school grounds, and to be examples of polite students. Our members wear belts and badges to show the community their dedication to Thomas Jefferson School.

Our patrol meets once a month with an advisor. All meetings are held during the school day. Safeties are to be on duty both before school and after school. Safeties who are bus students only perform their duties at the end of the day. They assist first grade teachers by escorting first grade students to their buses. All members must sustain a C average throughout their fifth grade.

Safety Patrol member are honored for their dedication at the end of the fifth grade at our annual awards breakfast. They are also rewarded with an annual picnic with members of all Washington Township School Safety Patrols at a local lake.
